This is a tasty beef stir fry recipe. I am always looking for reasons to include sprouts so this caught my eye! I doubled the sauce and I still needed to double the water to get this saucy like the family prefers. I think next time I would do without the additional salt in the sauce. The soy sauce would be enough IMO. Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Fall 2009.
